Michael Summers’ career path has taken him from studying theater at Baylor to touring with Switchfoot, spending 13 years in ministry, joining his family’s generator business, and ultimately acquiring Alamo Glass, a 60-year-old Austin business. What might look like an unconventional career on paper has given Michael a unique perspective on leadership, relationships, family business, and entrepreneurship.

In this episode of Good Business, Michael joins Clay Vaughan and Luke Frazier to talk about navigating major career transitions, working alongside family, selling a multigenerational business, acquiring an established company, and leading an existing team through change. He also shares why communication is critical in family businesses, how he approaches preserving a company’s legacy while building something new, and why the customer experience is what truly differentiates a trade business.
